Hop BroNomimono-ya in Busshozan just tapped two beers from Tsugaru Brewing. If you like guest beers, that is hard to ignore.
MugiWait, new arrivals? That is exactly the kind of news that makes me want to run to the pub. What came in?
Hop BroThey are Tsugaru Lager and Tsugaru IPA. Both lean on Aomori ingredients, but they are also built to work nicely with food.
MugiWhoa, but rice lager makes me picture rice grains doing laps in a pint glass!
Hop BroThankfully, not that. It uses Aomori-grown rice for a clean, dry finish. At 5.0% ABV and 19 IBU, it works as a first beer or with a meal.
MugiHold on, IBU 19 just turned this into science class. That is the bitterness number, right?
Hop BroExactly. And Tsugaru IPA is a five-hop IPA with Warrior, Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin, Idaho 7, and Strata, so you get bright aroma with a firm bitter edge.
MugiWhat is this, the all-star hop lineup? If I say all those names out loud, do I summon a brewer?
Hop BroThat balance comes from pilsner malt plus wheat and local rice, which makes for a lighter overall build. Even at 6.0% ABV, it should stay pretty drinkable.
MugiSo you start crisp with the lager, then let the IPA take over with aroma. That is basically a ready-made tasting flight!
Hop BroExactly, it is the kind of lineup where you start with lager, finish with IPA. Talking about it is making me want to head to Nomimono-ya and order both right now.
MugiSame, I want it now! I need those two glasses side by side in Busshozan for a full Tsugaru comparison.
Nomimonoya, a beer pub in Busshozan, Takamatsu, has announced a new guest-beer arrival from Tsugaru Brewing. The two beers on offer are Tsugaru Lager and Tsugaru IPA, both built around ingredients and drinkability.
Tsugaru Lager comes in at 5.0% ABV and 19 IBU. It is a rice lager made with rice from Aomori, designed to be dry, crisp, and easy to keep drinking. The grist uses Pilsner malt, and Hallertau Mittelfruh is listed as the hop choice. It looks like a clean, food-friendly lager that works as a first pour or alongside a meal.
Tsugaru IPA is 6.0% ABV and 44 IBU. Brewed with Pilsner malt, wheat, and five hops - Warrior, Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin, Idaho 7, and Strata - it leans into a more expressive aroma and a firmer bitterness while still keeping an approachable balance. Like the lager, it also incorporates local rice, giving the beer a regional character without making it heavy.
For drinkers in Kagawa, this is a neat chance to compare two different expressions of Tsugaru Brewing at Nomimonoya.
